Pros:

Good coverage in virtually any placement area, Decent sound, exceptional at the price point
Good audio quality for its price, Looks premium, Lightweight, Features FM Radio & MicroSD slot (puts some of the expensive brands to shame), Weatherproof (which makes it a true "outdoor speaker")
Easy pairing and use, Integrated carrying loop, Weatherproof

Cons:

The FM mode is useless, Having to switch input modes is kinda fiddly
Could be considered pricey for its original price despite its premium looks and features, Lacks on lowend frequencies, Battery lasts for 68 hours; good but some
